猶如風格化直立葉子裂成片狀的紋飾，形如扇子或棕櫚葉片，常由螺旋形支托。其起源不詳，但類似的紋飾，在西元前2000年，首見紀錄於敘利亞和美索不達米亞，以及地中海東部島嶼。一如其名，此圖形可能源自棕櫚樹的圖樣，尤其隨著人工栽培的棗椰樹引進，咸信拜樹者可能已存在於西亞；然而，它與其他早期的花卉與螺旋紋飾有許多共通點。此紋飾在古典與仿古典風格中很常見，或單獨使用，或與其他傳統表現的花朵或葉子圖形共同使用，忍冬飾即為一例。

英文....	Motif resembling a stylized erect leaf divided into lobes, in the form of a fan or palm leaf, often supported by spirals. Its origins are obscure, but similar motifs are first recorded in Syria and Mesopotamia and in the islands of the eastern Mediterranean by the 2nd millennium BCE. As the name suggests, it may have been derived from representations of palm-trees, especially in view of the belief that a tree cult may have existed in western Asia in association with the introduction of the cultivated date-palm; however, it has much in common with other early floral and spiral motifs. The motif is common in classical and classicizing styles, used either individually or along with other conventionalized flower or foliage forms, for example, in an anthemion.
荷蘭語....	Gestileerde ornamenten die een rechtopstaand blad opgedeeld in lobben vertonen, zoals een waaier of palmblad. Gebruikelijk in klassieke en neo-klassieke stijlen, individueel of samen met andere gestileerde bloem of bladvormen in een anthemion gebruikt.
西班牙語....	Ornamentos convencionalizados que representan una hoja erguida dividida en lóbulos, como un abanico u hoja de palma. Común en los estilos clásico y clasicismo, usado individualmente o junto con otras formas de flores o foliadas convencionalizadas en un antemio.
